Verse Riff x4
[Verse 1]
A E D E
This street has changed so much
A E D E
A line of fortresses, look but don't touch
A E D E
I'd like to call on my neighbours one day
A E D E
But their Doberman won't look the other way
[Chorus]
E B D A
There's one thing I'd like to know
G D A B
Where did the ordinary people go?
[Verse 2]
A E D E
In my street I don't know a soul
A E D E
The walls and fences never have no holes
A E D E
If I could only be your Peeping Tom
A E D E
You could complain about my bonfire burning strong
[Chorus]
E B D A
There's one thing I'd like to know
G D A B
Where did the ordinary people go?
E B D A
Nod my head and say hello
G D A B
Where did the ordinary people go?
A E D E
Verse Riff x2
[Bridge]
Amaj7 Bmaj7
Money changes everyone
Gmaj7 F#m7
Or so it seems
Amaj7 Bmaj7
There's no community spirit anywhere
F#m7 B
You may say I'm green
[Verse 3]
A E D E
In my street we go by car
A E D E
The tinted windows never show who you are
A E D E
If I could see you, I'd complain about the noise
A E D E
I glance across the fence we both might enjoy
[Chorus]
E B D A
There's one thing I'd like to know
G D A B
Where did the ordinary people go?
E B D A
Nod my head and say hello
G D A B
Where did the ordinary people go?

Where did they go? The ordinary people
A E A E
Those ordinary people? The ordinary people
A E A E
Where did they go? The ordinary people
